Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog.
In this episode we look back at Saturday disappointing and disheartening defeat to Bournemouth. We chat about the team selection with some key players missing but with some ineffective combinations in key areas. There’s analysis of the goals we conceded, the one we scored, and some decent chances we had to at least grab a point late on. Beyond that, we discuss the way the team is playing now, the counter-intuitive nature of asking our goalkeeper to play with more risk than players higher up the pitch, and whether the pressure to win the league this season played a part in the performance (or lack of). In part two we answer listener questions about Martin Zubimendi and how Mikel Arteta might be able to change the dynamic of the team, injury information, what we can expect against Sporting in midweek and how that might be beneficial, the idea that pre-game hype might not be useful, our feelings on how the rest of the season plays out, and lots more.
